When starting Core for the first time, there is an option about where to put the data directory. It seems like that would be a good time to ask about a few other options, such as pruning and dbcache size, and create a .conf file with those settings.
< CubicEarths>
The settings can be adjusted through the GUI after the program starts, but it needs to be restarted from them take effect...
< luke-jr>
CubicEarths: Knots already does the pruning bit, FWIW
< luke-jr>
would be nice to get it merged, but review is slow..

(the pending PR step is #11082)

< CubicEarths>
luke-jr: yeah. I was mainly thinking about the settings that a) are relevant to initial syncing and b) need restarting to activate

It was good to see so many Pull Requests merged and closed today.
< Randolf>
The changed file in that Chinese Pull Request seemed to be about creating a fork of Bitcoin and then changing just one line of code. Closing it without merging was the correct decision.

I'm trying to track down a QT UI bug. The 0.16.0 release is fine, but what I build from the head as the problem. Where can I find the exact config options used to make the release binaries?
< ken2812221>
ossifrage: ./configure --help
< ossifrage>
ken2812221, I know how to use configure, but I don't know what is used to build the release builds, the ldd output for the release binary is fairly minimal, but my build is huge (60 vs 18)
< ken2812221>
you can take a look at contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-*.yml ,this is the script for release build
< ossifrage>
ken2812221, thanks, building with the config options from gitian (doubt it is going to help, most likely a local qt problem)

ossifrage: your having the issue with Qt5.9.4 only? But not with the static Qt5.7 from our depends build... strange
< jonasschnelli>
txindex: is there a reason why we do not allow -txindex with -prune?
< jonasschnelli>
Example: you only interested to index stuff > 1.1.2017 (I know hard with the current MB based prune target)
< ossifrage>
The problem is not specific to the head, it also happens with the 0.16.0 tag (using qt5.9.4). I haven't gotten the depends to build, need to try again later
< jonasschnelli>
ossifrage: its probably very likely that you will your column issue with older tags
< ossifrage>
jonasschnelli, yup

The SSD? It just has Ubuntu on it - and I just remembered - a 200GB partition. But it has about 700GB of free space, so there shouldn't be issues related to the drive full or fragmented
